The League of Legends season has already begun, and from the looks of it, the teams from other regions are still trying to figure out the new meta. But even though many questions remain unanswered, there is a noticeable trend of low-scoring games.
We could have anticipated that; however, the scaling approach – which seems optimal in the current state of the game – could have easily resulted in bloodier mid-late game teamfights. Still, seeing only 24 average kills in LoL Pro League (LPL) matches suggests we should see even lower figures in the LCK.
As the offered LoL betting odds propose, Gen.G should win this match, and that’s fair. Gen.G were far superior to KT Rolster in LCK 2022 Spring, and we don’t expect that to change. But KT Rolster are good enough to put up a fight, which, combined with the current trend of low-scoring games, leads us to believe that KT Rolster with a +6.5 kill handicap (on both maps) is the right play.

As the first bout of the day, this one is a complete mismatch and a game DWG KIA shouldn’t be losing. Admittedly, DWG stumbled a bit in LCK 2022 Spring, but that’s relative to the expectations. So even though DWG KIA failed to defend the title, they’re still the clear third-best team in the league.
Fredit BRION did well in spring and finished the regular season with eight wins, just enough to squeeze into the playoffs. Unfortunately, we don’t expect them to repeat that run this split because their main competitors have made improvements, while Fredit BRIO failed to do the same.
This is another match that the favourites can’t afford to lose, and realistically, they shouldn’t. But at the offered betting odds, under 23.5 total kills is the most appealing bet. DWG KIA can win 2-0, but we’re getting just -125 on the handicap, which isn’t enough to pull the trigger.
